We are pleased to report that the Department of Health has informed us that contact tracing for the Timberlane COVID case has been completed.  Anyone identified as a close contact* has been notified and will be quarantined.  No additional cases have been identified and no students or staff were identified as close contacts.  Following our district protocols, we have completed our deep cleaning process and Timberlane is ready to reopen for students and staff on Friday, October 16, 2020. 
*Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for more than 10 minutes.

I would like to acknowledge the Hopewell Township and Montgomery Township Departments of Health for their guidance and support during this most recent issue.

  • If your child exhibits COVID symptoms while at school, he/she will be excluded for 10 days, unless cleared by a physician.
  • Practice social distancing (staying at least 6 feet apart) at all times - including bus stops and playgrounds;
